Spent the night at this property when passing through on the way to Adelaide. Staff upon check in were lovely and very helpful with questions we had. The room was perfect for a family of 3, air conditioning worked very well, nice clean room and bathroom, complimentary bottles of water in the fridge along with milk, tea and coffee, the pool was very nice after a long drive but you do need to leave a $20 deposit which you get back when you return the key, we will definitely be back again on our next trip.

Had the worst night sleep due to noisey late night neighbours and paper thin walls. Totally not worth the money. Only redeeming factors were a nice solid bed and spa. All ruined off course by the noise that went on the whole night. : (

The warm & friendly welcome at reception and the quiet location of the room were all bonuses. Lovely hot shower, good quality kitchen crockery and glassware and the small dining area all added to the comfort of the room.

Overall, very good. Great service and room had everything that was required. Was slightly disappointed in the size of the room a bit small for my liking and the bathroom was very tight. Also had a very good view from the room but this was tainted by the window needing a good clean.
